We congratulate our long-standing colleague Lukas Bujotzek on successfully completing his PhD thesis defense with “summa cum laude”.

The title of the doctoral thesis is: “Fibre reinforced polymer reinforcement in compression – Design of short and slender FRP reinforced concrete columns considering long-term material behaviour”

We are very proud of the great doctoral thesis and the comprehensive results, which will be incorporated directly into the second version of the DAfStb guideline “Non-metallic reinforcement”!

We would like to thank Lukas for his highly committed and passionate work at the Institute for Solid Structures (IfM) over the past five years and wish you lots of fun and success with your next challenges!
